Workshop Overview.

I bet YOU have a Camera sat in a box or put in a cupboard, collecting dust, because YOU cant use it properly!! I have been there…YOU’VE spent the money, perhaps YOU have several lenses?
And maybe you have googled ‘Aperture’ or Manual settings…and I know some of you will have hunted on You tube for the answers! YEP! I get it!

But imagine, if someone actually taught you properly, explained everything in clear and easy to understand steps. A Tutor that is fully qualified and has over 15 years of experience, as a Professional Photographer and Educator.

YOU have come to right place!

Set in the lovely grounds of Townley Park and gardens, This Half day Photography Workshop, focuses on understanding the basics of how changing the Aperture effects your finished images. What is an Aperture? How do you alter your Aperture? If your struggling to understand how Aperture works, then this Photography Workshop is for you.

Emma is a great teacher, clear communication and explanations with understanding of my needs and my deafness.
— Emma Hough. Student & Group member.

You will learn techniques and gain knowledge by working in Aperture Priority mode, so owning a DSLR is required for this particular Workshop. No Camera? Don’t worry, Emotive Capture has an entry level Nikon DSLR for hire. Please let us know if you would like to hire this Camera. Emma will encourage you to experiement, whilst making the most of your lovely surroundings. Learning all about changing your Aperture, will really improve your Photography.
